Press Release – 05 August 2020
Hamburg
The COSMO CONSULT Group, one of the world’s leading partners for Microsoft Dynamics 365, is intensifying its cooperation with the ECM manufacturer Portal Systems AG, which specialises in Microsoft 365 and SharePoint.
As a premium partner of Portal Systems, COSMO CONSULT aims to complement its own product portfolio in the field of Life Sciences with specific quality management solutions. Thereby, COSMO CONSULT relies on the Microsoft 365 integrated product suite Shareflex ECM Online of Portal Systems AG.
Companies in the Life Sciences sector have a legal obligation to demonstrate the quality of their products. To do this, enormous amounts of data have to be processed, documented and made available. On top of this, there are additional requirements for risk management or additional audits. Without a professional quality management system that seamlessly tracks and records all business processes, this task is almost impossible.
Portal Systems AG specialises in providing industry-neutral ECM, file and process solutions based on Microsoft Office 365. This includes contract, quality or invoice management. COSMO CONSULT has been cooperating with Portal Systems in these areas for years and is now developing solution extensions for the Life Sciences sector, e.g. modules for the special topics “Training” or “Audit”.
“In the life science environment, we have to qualify every supplier or partner extensively. That’s why we sounded out the market thoroughly beforehand and successfully audited Portal Systems as a supplier. The Hamburg-based software company has a lot of experience in quality management and knows what is important. The Shareflex platform also has a clear cloud strategy and is based on Microsoft Office 365 and Microsoft Azure. This fits perfectly with our own approach,” says Josip Breskic, Director Products & Services for Quality Management. In the future, both partners will jointly distribute all extensions developed by COSMO CONSULT for the Life Sciences sector.
With more than 1,200 employees at 43 international locations – 14 of them in Germany – the COSMO CONSULT Group is one of the leading providers of Microsoft-based industry and end-to-end business solutions for contract and process manufacturing, trade and services. Together with renowned industry partners, COSMO CONSULT supports companies in their digital transformation and develops forward-looking Industry 4.0 solutions. The software and consulting company relies on a broad portfolio. In addition to Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems, this also includes solutions for Data & Analytics, Customer Relationship Management (CRM), Office, Teamwork, Document Management and the Internet of Things (IoT). Besides implementation and system management, COSMO CONSULT also offers extensive consulting services. This ensures that the software is not only implemented but also lived in the company.
